I’d never heard of the monkey banana ladder experiment before. At the end of the article it said that that experiment has never actually been done. When searching further, it seems like this is an often cited hypothetical experiment. I found mention of a similar study that actually happened that allegedly had different results but the details seem to be behind a paywall.
I’ve not seen the wire, but now I’m afraid if I do it will make me sad.
I realized the dangers involved. That is why I never became a police officer myself.
… actually the reason is because I was too old by the time I had the idea to try, but realistically I had talked myself out of it before I knew that.
I have had the thought before that the police problem could be improved if decent human beings joined the force and tried to change it from the inside out. I think it could make a difference but I don’t think many people consider it because it feels like joining the wrong team.
Make sure you also test it while drunk or heavily drugged up.
I know my comment was low effort. I appreciate the supportive response anyway, even if it wasn’t that well deserved.
Thank you.
I’d be doing this right now, but the rest of the family is sleeping.
This is true. Although, every once in a while I’ll convince the wife unit to go out and we both usually end the night with a sense of regret and a feeling that we both would have preferred to have just stayed home.
For me Bill Cosby was not surprising. Danny Masterson was disappointing. I havent yet heard what Steven Tyler or Kevin Spacey did and now I’m afraid to Google it. I have no idea who Anthony Kiedis is.
…just looked them all up…sigh, yeah. I’m with you. It does make it impossible to appreciate the art with that knowledge.
Apparently wiki identifies it as a “pointing stick”.

…also, I find it amusing that the article does use the term clitmouse.
This guy is named bagels, currently featured in bagel mode.
Yes, both links and lynx are terminal based browsers. I remember using them to browse the Gentoo handbook when trying to do my first install.
Thanks for the nostalgic flashback.
I also take the oven approach to bacon, but I save the grease in a jar and use it for frying eggs and potatoes later.
To build on the original comment, my common breakfast option is also potatoes, eggs and bacon but I usually throw them in a tortilla with cheese and salsa. Perhaps more often I make the same thing, but with peppers and onions instead of bacon. In my mind it’s a little healthier, but admittedly not much.
Yep. I also keep an infrared thermometer in my kitchen. Sometimes it’s really nice to know the surface temp of a pan too.
This was my go-to for a while. I still keep this one on hand, but I recently have been defaulting to Hoff Sauce more recently. If you see it for sale, I recommend you give it a try.
Realizing people repeat things said by other people without taking the time to understand them should help you understand other people a lot.
Just to give a shout out to my boss when I worked as a mechanic, I’d like to say “get the fuckin’ torch. She’s hogged up tighter than a nuns cunt” and also a “she shakes like a sick whore shiting blood”. Lastly, I’ll add “fuck you shit whore fucking cunt”
Duane, you made amazing progress in the world of profanity and you were an amazing mentor.
Thank you.
